Trigger#

New Comment (Instant) on Google Sheets

Description:Emit new event each time a comment is added to a spreadsheet.

Version:0.1.3

Key:google_sheets-new-comment

View on GitHub

Google Sheets Overview#

The Google Sheets API allows for the creation, reading, updating, and deletion of data within Google Sheets, enabling a robust platform for spreadsheet management and data manipulation. Through Pipedream, you can craft serverless workflows that respond to various triggers, such as webhook events, emails, or scheduled times, to interact with Google Sheets. This synergy can automate reporting, synchronize data across applications, manage inventory, track leads in a CRM, or even conduct survey analysis by updating and retrieving sheet data on the fly.

Trigger Code#

import httpBase from "../common/http-based/sheet.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...httpBase,
  key: "google_sheets-new-comment",
  name: "New Comment (Instant)",

    },
    _setLastTs(lastTs) {

    },
    generateMeta(comment) {

      return this.sheetID.toString();
    },
    async processSpreadsheet() {
      const comments = [];

      const results = this.googleSheets.listComments(this.sheetID, lastTs);
      for await (const comment of results) {

        return;
      }

      comments.reverse().forEach((comment) => {
        const meta = this.generateMeta(comment);
        this.$emit(comment, meta);
      });
    },
  },
  async run(event) {
    if (event.timestamp) {
      // Component was invoked by timer
      return this.renewSubscription();
    }

    if (!this.isEventRelevant(event)) {
      console.log("Sync notification, exiting early");
      return;
    }

    await this.processSpreadsheet();
  },

};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Google Sheets	`googleSheets`	`app`	This component uses the Google Sheets app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Push notification renewal schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	The Google Drive API requires occasionally renewal of push notification subscriptions. This runs in the background, so you should not need to modify this schedule.
Drive	`watchedDrive`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Spreadsheet ID	`sheetID`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Watch Drive	`watchDrive`	`boolean`	Set to `true` to watch the drive for changes. May reduce rate limiting.

Trigger Authentication#

Google Sheets uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Google Sheets account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Google Sheets and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Google Sheets API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

emailprofilehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive

Heartbeat Overview#

The Heartbeat API offers a powerful way to connect and automate your community engagement. With this API, you can monitor community signals, manage members, and trigger events based on community interactions. By integrating Heartbeat with Pipedream, you can create dynamic, serverless workflows that act upon these signals and bring efficiency to your community management tasks. Whether it's automating welcome messages, syncing member data with other platforms, or analyzing community health, the possibilities are vast.
